The Business of Film: Fast X, Are you there, God? It's Margaret and Close
An ebullulient James Cameron-Wilson guides Simon Rose through the UK box office chart, welcoming FastX, the 10th in the franchise, to the #1 spot. He found it has plenty of laughs, shocks, surprises & thrills, though its opening of £5.9m is well down on previous iterations. He also recommends Are You There, God? It's Margaret, which opened at #4. Based on the Judy Plume novel, he thought it a touching and charming gem. His DVD of the month is the Belgian Oscar-nominated drama Close, which won last year's Grand Prix at Cannes. James thought it one of the most remarkable films he has seen for some time.

The Bigger Picture: Immigration soars, Boris Johnson's WhatsApps, Suella Braverman & Ron DeSantis
Political commentator Mike Indian discusses the news that net immigration hit 606,000 last year and explains why the UK is proving such a magnet for incomers. He looks at the call from the Covid inquiry for Boris Johnson to hand over his WhatsApp messages and the controversy over Suella Braverman and her speeding offence. And he looks across the Atlantic at the malfunctioning Twitter interview with Ron DeSantis and considers how unlikely it is that he can unseat Donald Trump as the Republican Presidential candidate.

The Bigger Picture: Labour & Housing, Immigration & the Battle for the Future of Money
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University says that Labour's ideas are becoming clearer, with Starmer's promise to boost housebuilding outmanoeuvring the Conservatives and setting the cat among the pigeons. He discusses whether immigration is out of control in a world where people are moving more than ever and explains why he thinks Labour will take exactly the opposite stance to the Tories. And he picks up on a largely unreported comment by Donald Trump, that America will eventually default on its debt, to highlight the battle that is looming over the future of money and the banking system.

The Business of Film: Book Club 2, Brainwashed – Sex, Camera, Power & The Mother
James Cameron-Wilson takes Simon Rose through the latest box office charts, with Guardians of the Galaxy 3 still ruling the roost, though down 56%. Book Club 2: The Next Chapter is #4 with Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen and Mary Steenburgen. James found it awful and surprisingy smutty, treating the elderly as alcoholic bubblebrains. He found Brainwashed: Sex - Camera - Power fascinating, being a persuasive documentary about how cinema technique has disempowered and objectified women. He found action thriller The Mother, with Jennifer Lopez, utterly implausible and pointless.

The Business of Film: Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Rodeo & Lunana – A Yak in the Classroom
With UK box office up 80%, James Cameron-Wilson waxes lyrical about Guardians of the Galaxy 3 which he found great fun throughout and impressively inventive. He also recommended two films using non-professional actors. Rodeo (#32) is an impressive insight into the lives of dirt bikers, almost their version of Fast & Furious and is on Curzon screens and at home. Oscar-nominated Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom is an utterly absorbing Bhutanese film about a teacher sent to a remote community. James also discusses a 2016 Italian film which has already been remade 20 times, with the French version, Nothing to Hide, on Netflix.

At present, real interest rates are heavily negative. He also discusses share buybacks, illegal in the US until 1982. They're now being used heavily by FTSE100 companies and Russ discusses their pros and cons and whether they gerrymander figures. He also explains why Next is a company that does it right.

Steve Caplin discusses the latest tech with Simon Rose.

Scientists have worked out how to get water on the moon – with a microwave, to produce music from rocks and to get the best head of beer from a can. AI cameras are to be used to catch litterlouts while a man has made the world's fastest wheelie bin, which is legal to drive on roads.

The Bigger Picture: Local elections, the Illegal Immigration Bill, Sue Gray & Penny Mordaunt
Political commentator Mike Indian takes Simon Rose through the recent local election results, with huge gains for Labour, the LibDems and Greens and massive losses for the Conseratives. He also discusses the Archbishop of Canterbury's attack in the House of Lords on the Illegal Immigration Bill, the rumblings over Sue Gray becoming Labour's Chief of Staff, with Mike wondering if she will ever take up her role. And he ends with admiration – like many – for the part Penny Mordaunt played in the Coronation. As a result, he reckons she must be the favourite to be the next Tory leader.
